וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | א | 1 | Then Job answered and said: |
אָ֭מְנָם יָדַ֣עְתִּי כִי־כֵ֑ן וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֖ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵֽל׃ | ב | 2 | Of a truth I know that it is so; and how can man be just with God? |
אִם־יַ֭חְפֹּץ לָרִ֣יב עִמּ֑וֹ לֹֽא־יַ֝עֲנֶ֗נּוּ אַחַ֥ת מִנִּי־אָֽלֶף׃ | ג | 3 | If one should desire to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one of a thousand. |
חֲכַ֣ם לֵ֭בָב וְאַמִּ֣יץ כֹּ֑חַ מִֽי־הִקְשָׁ֥ה אֵ֝לָ֗יו וַיִּשְׁלָֽם׃ | ד | 4 | He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against Him, and prospered? |
הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק הָ֭רִים וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֑עוּ אֲשֶׁ֖ר הֲפָכָ֣ם בְּאַפּֽוֹ׃ | ה | 5 | Who removeth the mountains, and they know it not, when He overturneth them in His anger. |
הַמַּרְגִּ֣יז אֶ֭רֶץ מִמְּקוֹמָ֑הּ וְ֝עַמּוּדֶ֗יהָ יִתְפַלָּצֽוּן׃ | ו | 6 | Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. |
הָאֹמֵ֣ר לַ֭חֶרֶס וְלֹ֣א יִזְרָ֑ח וּבְעַ֖ד כּוֹכָבִ֣ים יַחְתֹּֽם׃ | ז | 7 | Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. |
נֹטֶ֣ה שָׁמַ֣יִם לְבַדּ֑וֹ וְ֝דוֹרֵ֗ךְ עַל־בָּ֥מֳתֵי יָֽם׃ | ח | 8 | Who alone stretcheth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. |
עֹֽשֶׂה־עָ֭שׁ כְּסִ֥יל וְכִימָ֗ה וְחַדְרֵ֥י תֵמָֽן׃ | ט | 9 | Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. |
עֹשֶׂ֣ה גְ֭דֹלוֹת עַד־אֵ֣ין חֵ֑קֶר וְנִפְלָא֗וֹת עַד־אֵ֥ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ | י | 10 | Who doeth great things past finding out; yea, marvellous things without number. |
הֵ֤ן יַעֲבֹ֣ר עָ֭לַי וְלֹ֣א אֶרְאֶ֑ה וְ֝יַחֲלֹ֗ף וְֽלֹא־אָבִ֥ין לֽוֹ׃ | יא | 11 | Lo, He goeth by me, and I see Him not. He passeth on also, but I perceive Him not. |
הֵ֣ן יַ֭חְתֹּף מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ מִֽי־יֹאמַ֥ר אֵ֝לָ֗יו מַֽה־תַּעֲשֶֽׂה׃ | יב | 12 | Behold, He snatcheth away, who can hinder Him? Who will say unto Him: 'What doest Thou?' |
אֱ֭לוֹהַּ לֹא־יָשִׁ֣יב אַפּ֑וֹ תַּחְתָּ֥יו תחתו שָׁ֝חֲח֗וּ עֹ֣זְרֵי רָֽהַב׃ | יג | 13 | God will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of Rahab did stoop under Him. |
אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אָנֹכִ֣י אֶֽעֱנֶ֑נּוּ אֶבְחֲרָ֖ה דְבָרַ֣י עִמּֽוֹ׃ | יד | 14 | How much less shall I answer Him, and choose out my arguments with Him? |
אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִם־צָ֭דַקְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶעֱנֶ֑ה לִ֝מְשֹׁפְטִ֗י אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃ | יה | 15 | Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to Him that contendeth with me. |
אִם־קָרָ֥אתִי וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי לֹֽא־אַ֝אֲמִ֗ין כִּֽי־יַאֲזִ֥ין קוֹלִֽי׃ | יו | 16 | If I had called, and He had answered me; yet would I not believe that He would hearken unto my voice-- |
אֲשֶׁר־בִּשְׂעָרָ֥ה יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי וְהִרְבָּ֖ה פְצָעַ֣י חִנָּֽם׃ | יז | 17 | He that would break me with a tempest, and multiply my wounds without cause; |
לֹֽא־יִ֭תְּנֵנִי הָשֵׁ֣ב רוּחִ֑י כִּ֥י יַ֝שְׂבִּעַ֗נִי מַמְּרֹרִֽים׃ | יח | 18 | That would not suffer me to take my breath, but fill me with bitterness. |
אִם־לְכֹ֣חַ אַמִּ֣יץ הִנֵּ֑ה וְאִם־לְ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט מִ֣י יוֹעִידֵֽנִי׃ | יט | 19 | If it be a matter of strength, lo, He is mighty! and if of justice, who will appoint me a time? |
אִם־אֶ֭צְדָּק פִּ֣י יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑נִי תָּֽם־אָ֝֗נִי וַֽיַּעְקְשֵֽׁנִי׃ | כ | 20 | Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me; though I be innocent, He shall prove me perverse. |
תָּֽם־אָ֭נִי לֹֽא־אֵדַ֥ע נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶמְאַ֥ס חַיָּֽי׃ | כא | 21 | I am innocent--I regard not myself, I despise my life. |
אַחַ֗ת הִ֥יא עַל־כֵּ֥ן אָמַ֑רְתִּי תָּ֥ם וְ֝רָשָׁ֗ע ה֣וּא מְכַלֶּֽה׃ | כב | 22 | It is all one--therefore I say: He destroyeth the innocent and the wicked. |
אִם־שׁ֭וֹט יָמִ֣ית פִּתְאֹ֑ם לְמַסַּ֖ת נְקִיִּ֣ם יִלְעָֽג׃ | כג | 23 | If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the guiltless. |
אֶ֤רֶץ ׀ נִתְּנָ֬ה בְֽיַד־רָשָׁ֗ע פְּנֵֽי־שֹׁפְטֶ֥יהָ יְכַסֶּ֑ה אִם־לֹ֖א אֵפ֣וֹא מִי־הֽוּא׃ | כד | 24 | The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; {N} if it be not He, who then is it? |
וְיָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ מִנִּי־רָ֑ץ בָּֽ֝רְח֗וּ לֹא־רָא֥וּ טוֹבָֽה׃ | כה | 25 | Now my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away, they see no good. |
חָ֭לְפוּ עִם־אֳנִיּ֣וֹת אֵבֶ֑ה כְּ֝נֶ֗שֶׁר יָט֥וּשׂ עֲלֵי־אֹֽכֶל׃ | כו | 26 | They are passed away as the swift ships; as the vulture that swoopeth on the prey. |
אִם־אָ֭מְרִי אֶשְׁכְּחָ֣ה שִׂיחִ֑י אֶעֶזְבָ֖ה פָנַ֣י וְאַבְלִֽיגָה׃ | כז | 27 | If I say: 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer', |
יָגֹ֥רְתִּי כָל־עַצְּבֹתָ֑י יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי כִּי־לֹ֥א תְנַקֵּֽנִי׃ | כח | 28 | I am afraid of all my pains, I know that Thou wilt not hold me guiltless. |
אָנֹכִ֥י אֶרְשָׁ֑ע לָמָּה־זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל אִיגָֽע׃ | כט | 29 | I shall be condemned; why then do I labour in vain? |
אִם־הִתְרָחַ֥צְתִּי בְמֵי־שָׁ֑לֶג במו וַ֝הֲזִכּ֗וֹתִי בְּבֹ֣ר כַּפָּֽי׃ | ל | 30 | If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; |
אָ֭ז בַּשַּׁ֣חַת תִּטְבְּלֵ֑נִי וְ֝תִֽעֲב֗וּנִי שַׂלְמוֹתָֽי׃ | לא | 31 | Yet wilt Thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. |
כִּי־לֹא־אִ֣ישׁ כָּמֹ֣נִי אֶֽעֱנֶ֑נּוּ נָב֥וֹא יַ֝חְדָּ֗ו בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ | לב | 32 | For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in judgment. |
לֹ֣א יֵשׁ־בֵּינֵ֣ינוּ מוֹכִ֑יחַ יָשֵׁ֖ת יָד֣וֹ עַל־שְׁנֵֽינוּ׃ | לג | 33 | There is no arbiter betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. |
יָסֵ֣ר מֵעָלַ֣י שִׁבְט֑וֹ וְ֝אֵמָת֗וֹ אַֽל־תְּבַעֲתַֽנִּי׃ | לד | 34 | Let Him take His rod away from me, and let not His terror make me afraid; |
אַֽ֭דַבְּרָה וְלֹ֣א אִירָאֶ֑נּוּ כִּ֥י לֹא־כֵ֥ן אָ֝נֹכִ֗י עִמָּדִֽי׃ | לה | 35 | Then would I speak, and not fear Him; for I am not so with myself. |
